NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – The North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau announces the retirement of Chamber president and CEO Marc Jordan.
Jordan’s retirement will be effective April 1. An executive search committee, led by Chairman of the Board Scott Ellis, is being created to begin the process to find Jordan’s replacement.
Jordan was named president and CEO of the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, Convention & Visitors Bureau in North Myrtle Beach in December of 2007. Jordan led the Chamber in achieving revenues close to $18 million over the past 10 years, according to the release from the Chamber.
“Over the last few months I have been discussing with my leadership an eventual exit strategy and my announced retirement from the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, Convention & Visitors Bureau,” said Jordan. “I have some specific plans I am working on, and some not so specific. Some will allow me to stay close to home, while others will allow me to travel to new areas. Forty years of helping to build communities makes for some great memories and I am looking forward to my next chapter.”
Jordan came to North Myrtle Beach from Lynchburg, Virginia where he served as president and CEO of the United Way of Central Virginia for two and a half years. Prior to his leadership with the United Way, Jordan served as president and CEO of the Memphis Regional Chamber of Commerce, a position he held for the prior ten years. This capped a 33-year career serving in leadership positions with local Chambers of Commerce including Raleigh, North Carolina, Norfolk, Virginia, Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and beginning with the Greater Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce.
